The goal of clinical practice is to enrich teacher candidate learning through enhanced field experiences. Evaluation is a key element of coteaching during which coteachers review their teaching and its impact on pupil learning. However, coteachers are challenged in enacting coevaluation, that is, a critique of the teacher candidate's and clinical…

Teaching primary science through inquiry offers a number of benefits including developing pupils' science skills, progressing thinking skills and personal capabilities, and making science relevant to children's everyday experience. Ensuring that pre-service teachers (PSTs) are fully confident and competent in teaching inquiry-based science (IBS)…

The purpose of this mixed method study was to investigate practice-based evidence by comparing secondary level general and special education teachers' perceptions of co-teaching experiences. Three research questions were answered to determine the perceptions of effective co-teaching methods in secondary inclusive classrooms: (1) Using the…

A critical part of teacher education programs is preparing educators for their careers, including assuring that coteaching is performed in an effective manner, particularly in inclusive classrooms. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to gain an understanding of the preparation teachers received for coteaching. The conceptual framework…

This study examined how Finnish primary school students perceive teachers' roles and responsibilities, their own learning and participation, and the social climate during co-taught lessons. Data were collected through a web-based questionnaire among primary school students (N = 242) from grades four to six from Finnish schools where Swedish is the…

Introduction: The integration of digital technologies and virtual co-teaching has become a common practice in education. This was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These innovations play a key role in addressing global challenges and are a response to digital advances to which primary and secondary schools need to adaptively respond. Methods:…

Co-teaching is a widely used instructional approach to meet the needs of all students in inclusive classrooms across the globe. Despite the widespread implementation of the practice, little is known about how teachers are prepared to use it. This study examined the extent to which 77 teachers were prepared to use co-teaching. Results indicated…

Background and Context: A key challenge in advancing computer science education in K-12 schools is teacher preparation and support. School-university partnerships and service-learning programs where undergraduates assist teachers represent one promising approach to supporting K-12 computer science teaching. Objectives: In this work, we examine the…

Co-teaching is a prevalent model to address student needs in an inclusive classroom, therefore it is critical that both the general and special education teacher are implementing high leverage and evidence-based practices. The present study used peer coaching in an elementary co-taught classroom to evaluate the effectiveness of teachers' use of…

U.S. schools are required to educate students in the least restrictive environment (LRE). The number of students with high incidence disabilities, including those with speech or language impairments (SLI), who spend most of their day in the general education classroom has increased in the last decade. Establishing classrooms that proactively…

Teacher cognition has been a major topic of interest in applied linguistics as researchers have worked toward "better understanding the fullness of the work of teaching, a fullness that has proved complex and problematic" (Burns et al., 2015, p. 585). This qualitative study draws upon participant interview data in order to analyze and…

This study tested the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a six-session online class on healthy relationships for autistic individuals ages 18-44 years old (N = 55). The content of the Healthy Relationships on the Autism Spectrum class was informed by formative research with 25 autistic individuals, and developed collaboratively by two…

In order to improve instruction, teachers need to make sense of and evaluate the critical events that have the potential to strengthen the understanding of students' mathematical thinking. Mathematics instruction has shifted toward inquiry teaching which leaves many teachers attempting to change their practices accordingly. While there are…

Purpose: Share a comprehensive examination of best practices used to institutionalize a successful long-term secondary education co-teaching program. Methodology: An intrinsic case study of a single urban school site in the Southern California area, bounded in time from program inception through the study time period. Findings: (a) Two visions…

Co-teaching is an instructional teaching model that provides an opportunity for students to receive instruction in the least restrictive environment. An extensive literature review was completed in order to identify best practices and effective co-teaching practices in mathematics classrooms. A clearly defined purpose for co-teaching and selecting…
